Apple recently won their ‘jiggle’ patent that allows customers to more easily organise and move their applications within iOS. Many of you are probably familiar with this idea, but this kind of functionality should not be taken for granted. It is indicative of Apple’s constant attempts to improve and simplify their mobile devices for the benefit of the user.
With all the negative media attention concerning Apple litigation we are exposed to as part of this class, its important to remember that Apple's mobile technology is still an incredibly innovative force within the market, that constantly tailors to user needs.
The functionality of the patent works in the following way:
1) Hold down an app icon
2) All the icons represented on the screen then ‘jiggle’
Then:
3) Delete a chosen app by pressing a small X that pops up, or;
4) Press and drag an icon to move it, or;
5) Press and drag one icon onto another to instantaneously merge them into one folder.
